A Visit to Job's House!

William Blake's Illustrations of the Book of Job contains a series of 23 engraved prints and was published in 1826. The one in this video pictures Job's "house" very late in the book, in chapter 42, where he sits with his three daughters, Jemima, Ketziah, and Kerenhappuch. (I asked the family to leave, so as to film the video.) Pictures hang on the walls of the room depicting scenes from Job's sufferings and God's revelation from the Whirlwind.

Duties of a son, from The Story of Aqhat: To erect a stele for his ancestral gods; to build a family shrine in the sanctuary;
to guard his footsteps from earth to underworld; to take his hand when he is drunk; to put his arm over one's shoulder when he is full of
wine; to eat a funeral meal in the temple of Ba'al; to offer a sacrifice in the house of El.
